The shocking conversation that needs to happen right now is here. Following the murder of ex-Lost Prophets singer Ian Watkins, convicted of unimaginable crimes against children, the question is simple: Is it morally okay to celebrate the death of a truly evil human being? We dive deep into this controversial topic with a no-holds-barred discussion that uses the Charlie Kirk murder backlash as a yardstick.

Chris and Erik start the show with a look back at some of the weird stuff they acquired during their divorces, including a bizarre musket lamp and ridiculous framed art. This leads them into an extended riff on collectible items, telemarketing scams like the Highlander coin collection, and ‘of the month’ clubs for everything from plates to film. The guys then transition to discussing old TV shows like Columbo and Twilight Zone, reflecting on how much the world has changed, especially regarding how crimes are solved and the general ‘70s aesthetic. Finally, they dive deep into the messy truth about the music business, discussing Steven Pearcy‘s generosity on tour, why paying to open for bands like Texas Hippie Coalition and Tesla is often a losing game, and the new, internet-focused approach to building a music career.
